Hotel Plaza Uruapan — Hotel in Michoacán

I stayed at the Plaza for two nights as Uruapan was the most convenient stopover from which to climb Paricutin. It's a pleasant enough place. A taxi ride from the bus station cost 45 pesos.||My (large) room was overlooking the edge of the main square. There are major roadworks at the moment in front of the hotel and around the square. It gets noisy (they start early and finish late) and dusty. The hotel restaurant was suffering from noise outside in the evening. ||On the subject of noise, for a small town they certain know how to make plenty of it.

What a beautiful sight for a hungry and thirsty crowd. The margarita's were fabulous served in this elegant outdoor setting Al Frescoe. A must for any visitors in Michuacan to this...

The bathroom was adequate (and spotlessly clean).

The staff was excellent.

The location was in a somewhat noisy section of town, but since we were there for the Arteseñal Mercado, it was an excellent location in close proximity to the square.

The two restaurants were good,...
